Why a salary cap matters so much
I remain, possibly foolishly, optimistic that the coming lockout won’t be as bad as some others say. Baseball’s having a bit of a hot streak, with the Dodgers playing the key role of central villain, young studs like Cam Schlittler and Jacob Misiorowski taking on the mantle of a baseball game’s protagonist, and we just saw in the World Series that it’s possible to win without just emptying your bank account to do so. Add to it that there’s this… general air of anger towards billionaires, toward the elite, that the likes of Steve Cohen and Hal Steinbrenner sneering about competitive balance will be less effective than I think they think it will be.
